Six artists are represented in this show which examines the nature ofobservation, movement, communication, contact, and fetish in the virtualenvironment of the avatar.

These investigations form the basis of questioning what is real, they gobeyond the experience of the user at the keyboard to reference thatsimilar and familiar experience of the driver behind the wheel.

The show runs from April 28 through June 23, 2006 with the opening andartist's reception at 7pm SLT (Pacific Daylight Time) on April 28.
